suggestions for 125 gallon with a clown trigger?

[b_pbucksfans]

I have a 125 gallon fowl tank that im looking to add to. I have a 6" clown trigger(very docile), desardini tang, 2 pair of breeding clarkii clowns, sixline wrasse and 2 engineer gobies. Looking to add to the tank and don't know what would go. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

wow cant believe that clown trigger gets along with that group, imo i think your tank is fully stocked, clown triggers get huge and mean, but if you were going to add some fish, i would add a hippo tang, any triggers, naso tang, larger angel but those fish maybe aggresive to your gobies n clowns

This is a very unusual mix of fish. The big thing with Clown Triggers is not if they will go postal, its when. They can stay civil for a long time, then attack anything that moves, including fingers. I'm afraid, sooner or later, you're going to come home to a tank of dead and wounded fish; as soon as your CT discovers what's in his genes. I've seen this myself a couple of times and heard the sad story repeatedly; usually followed by the words "I should have paid attention to what I read/heard."

i agree clown triggers are like serial killers, they will just lay in the weeds until one day the go nuts.

Do you still have the CT? If yes, curious of how he's doing.

still have him! His colors have changed to his mature colors and he is still doing great. He swims with everyone else and just leaves well enough alone. I have a breeding pair of Clarkii clowns that kick his butt on a regular basis and he acts like their not even there!( when he swims around their eggs!) Recently just added a green razor wrasse and didnt even notice!

Oh that's good to hear!! My CT is the most docile in my tank, well for now. =)
